I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cognizant (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Apr 2011
Interview
These are the steps from 1 to 4 for Interview process:
1. Aptitude - Verbal and Non-verbal (No Quant)
2. GD - Kind of Extempore with swapping of topics (focuses on Comm. skills only).
3. Technical Interview - Last for 15 mins (Mainly Focuses on your learning area)
4. HR Interview - Kind of formality (Be specific)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Unexpected thing was to swap the topic with someone and speak out instantly on that.
Difficult question was asked by Technical Interviewer : Given a practical scenario of my subject or technical interest, and I need to solve it through my knowledge of that technical area.
